My family left Syria 7 months ago after we could no longer live safely. We spent time in a camp before we were resettled in Leicester. We're a family of seven and we're safe, but we arrived with very little.
Our resettlement agency has provided 3 months of rent, and that support ends in July.
I was an engineer in Syria, and I'm studying the language every evening. Our daughter and son have started school and are doing well.
We want nothing more than to be self-sufficient. This fund will help us through the first six months.
Funds are managed by the Leicester Welcome Table charity, a registered organization, which pays the landlord and suppliers on the family's behalf.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Rent deposit and first month: $2,150
• Beds, table and basic furniture: $1,000
• Winter clothing and school supplies: $600
• Language classes and bus passes: $220
• Phone and internet for school and job search: $130
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Thinking of you, Ariana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Rooting for you, Ariana. Hope you get there.
Keep going, Ariana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Hang in there, Ariana. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Tlaquepaque donated after I showed her your page
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Leicester.
Rooting for you, Ariana. This could happen to any of us.
